Oscillations of the NAD(P)H pool size and of the redox state of a cytochrome b during dark respiration of the blue-green alga, Anacystis nidulans.
Oscillations of the oxygen uptake rate of the blue-green alga (cyanobacterium) Anacystis nidulans were induced by light pulses. The pool size of NAD(P)H and the redox state of a cytochrome b showed oscillations of similar shape and frequency. Phase diagrams revealed that these three oscillations were presumably linked. The cytochrome b should be a part of the respiratory chain of this blue-green alga. The oscillations were inducible only in a limited physiological state of the alga.
